Not another one? Feel for the assistants who had to work with him and others …if these allegations are true

Head of the news !

I’ve seen him on Family Fortunes. My reaction to these allegations is that I wouldn’t be at all surprised.

Bea65 Thu 06-Feb-25 18:47:41

Know he’s been a favourite for many and wonder how many sponsorships he’ll lose overnight

Babs03 Thu 06-Feb-25 18:48:50

Oh for heaven’s sake not another one!
If these claims are true I can only say throw the book at him, is just another over entitled man whose brain is in his underpants.
When will they ever learn?

Who is he? I have never heard of him.

He’s a celeb cook who has been presenting game shows and other things probably. I really haven’t watched his programmes that much.

On various shows also with chef Ramsay and First Dates French presenter guy -can’t remember the name

Fred Sireieix Maitre d’ First dates … hope he’s not involved…

They make me laugh these types. I'd love to see a couple of older women being given the chance to travel around in a niche vehicle and look at food.

I know the fabulous 2 fat ladies did it, but they were a one off.

Must be the jammiest job in the world, being paid to travel - first class no doubt - and sample delicious foods.
I don’t think Delia did that 🧐

That explains it. I really dislike cookery programmes and avoid them at all costs - and I do not watch games shows. Actually, I rarely watch TV at all.

NonGrannyMoll Thu 06-Feb-25 19:45:07

Whether it's true or not seems beside the point. His career will suffer as a consequence, either way. What a sad way for our society to end up, either way.

Another trial by media.

FishandChips15 Thu 06-Feb-25 19:54:26

I have always found him full of himself.

In the 90s he was convicted of burgling singer Paul Young's London home, and served two years in prison.

Nothing would surprise me.

Casdon Thu 06-Feb-25 19:57:06

I’m sure this came out at the same time as Greg Wallace didn’t it, and his contract was withdrawn, I don’t think it’s new news?

rafichagran Thu 06-Feb-25 22:05:55

I don't like cookery programmes or game shows, I have seen Gino D'Acampo on TV and I really could not take to him.
I am afraid the allegations do not suprise me. I just find it annoying men think they csn behave like this.

Nice work if you can get it!

He's not funny, though, nor is Wallace.

Fleur20 Thu 06-Feb-25 22:22:24

He made very sleazy comments when he was on This Morning. Cringeworthy.

Kate1949 Thu 06-Feb-25 22:35:55

Irs a bandwagon now.

petra Thu 06-Feb-25 22:45:03

My only surprise is that it’s taken so long to come out.
2 women on GN have accused him of putting his hand up their skirts while working with him.
What he did at Paul Youngs house was unforgivable.
Not only did he break in and piss on the carpet he stole recordings of Paul Youngs wife’s voice recordings.
His wife is now dead and he will never get them back.

If they knew why didn't they tell him to pull his head in?.

Gordon may be a potty-mouth but I doubt that he's sleazy. My DD came across him through work and said he was a perfectly decent, kind man, no bad language, it's just for show.
Or was he dropped from that show because he objected to D'Acampo's behaviour?

BlueBelle Thu 06-Feb-25 23:09:21

Well what’s he done isn’t there a link ?
Never liked him anyway too cocky and always sounds a put on accent, but I haven’t seen any articles about him
I don’t watch cookery shows or the ‘celebrity’ travel shows either

Kate1949 Thu 06-Feb-25 23:12:01

So all those people who were sucking up to him, laughing at his shenanigans, bragging about him being their friend, posing with him for the press will now drop him/'cancel' him to save their own skins. What a world.
